The last two kernel updates have had a kernel pushed out followed by an updated kernel literally the next day. What's going on with this? And is this likely to continue, i.e. should we start waiting for a week or so after a kernel comes out to prevent wasted effort from installing the one that will be immediately replaced?

Generally Ubuntu kernels are updated every 3 weeks for stable releases. However; in cases of critical CVE fixes or regressions updates may be pushed out in a shorter span than those 3 weeks. Overall that quick of an update should be an exception. If you'd like more information about what the updates fix you can always look in the changelog of the package.
